Former Trump Lawyer Defends Republican Congressman After Personal Attack: 'Some Things Are Still Sacred'

Jenna Ellis, once a key member of Trump's legal team, is speaking out in defense of Rep. Thomas Massie after the president launched a personal attack over the Kentucky congressman's remarriage following his wife's death.

Politics can get nasty, but there are lines that some people still believe shouldn't be crossed. Jenna Ellis, who served as a senior legal advisor to President Donald Trump, is drawing one of those lines after Trump launched a deeply personal attack against Rep. Thomas Massie.

The Attack That Sparked Backlash

Over the weekend, Trump took to Truth Social to ridicule the Kentucky Republican for remarrying about a year and a half after losing his wife of 31 years. The post didn't hold back.

"Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr., because of the fact that he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already??? Boy, that was quick! No wonder the Polls have him at less than an 8% chance of winning the Election. Anyway, have a great life Thomas and (?). His wife will soon find out that she's stuck with a LOSER!", Trump wrote.

Massie had announced his remarriage to Carolyn Grace Moffa after what most would consider a reasonable mourning period. The congressman has become a frequent target of Trump's criticism, largely due to his advocacy for releasing more files connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

A Former Ally Speaks Out

Ellis, who counts Massie as a personal friend, wasn't having it. She responded on X, celebrating Massie's remarriage and pushing back against the nature of Trump's comments.

"Some things are still sacred and should still be beyond this kind of political mud-slinging," she wrote.

This is notable coming from someone who was on Trump's legal team attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Her time working with Trump ended after she accepted a plea deal in Georgia related to those efforts, resulting in a three-year suspension of her Colorado law license.

What This Reveals

Ellis's willingness to defend Massie reveals the fractures within Republican circles. When even former loyalists start questioning where the line should be drawn in political attacks, it suggests deeper concerns about the tone and tenor of current political discourse. The incident raises uncomfortable questions about whether personal life events should ever become ammunition in political fights.
